As a tangential observation, I discovered something surprising in the etymology of "to remain," which serves as a microcosm of Heidegger's philosophy. First, consider this word2vec equation: being + time = to remain. Then: "to remain" is the goal, while "mere remains" is the fate we want to avoid. This mirrors Heidegger/Hölderlin's quote: "where danger is, grows \ The saving power also." Let's examine the etymology: "To remain" comes from Latin "re-" + "-maneo". "Maneo" means "to stand," "to remain". So "to remain" literally translates to "to remain again". Intriguing. "Remaneo" is affiliated with "remano", meaning "to flow back". As we dig through the stratigraphy of etymology, we stumble upon "wret-", the Indo-European root that led to "re-", associated with "returning" or "rising back up". By seeking the origin of "to remain" through the allegedly dead stacktrace of etymology, we realize we're merely iterating it over again. This leads us into Proto-Indo-European territory: "men-". 726 1 men- IE 2. menth- to rise, mount, tower 726 2 men- to press, step on, tread down 726-28 3 men- IE 5. men- to think; mind, spiritual activity 728-29 4 men- IE meni- to diminish; small 729 5 men- IE 3. men- to stay, remain, stand still This leads to a profound realization: "to remain" is "to think again". Being and thought are the same. Or so is the literal translation of Parmenides that Heidegger insisted on—thinking over. It also leads us to "to remind" (the Call), and "mindful" (Care).
